PELYCO INTEGRATES BEST OF BREED e-BI APPLICATIONS
BRIO, Business Objects, Crystal Decisions and Cognos Chosen as Initial Tools
Silicon Valley, CA
04/27/01
Pelyco Systems today announced the immediate availability of an integrated solution with the leading best of breed e-business intelligence providers. Under the program Pelyco has made available webPUBLISH™ for i2 TradeMatrix® with e-business intelligence tools from BRIO, Business Objects, Crystal Decisions and Cognos. The combined solution and expanded analytics capabilities are designed to provide business managers and users with the ability to assess business performance and to aggressively respond to changes in their business. Initial target markets for the solution include industrial products, telecommunications and high technology.
Pelyco's innovative strategy saves corporations from having to deploy major resources to gather user requirements, model their businesses and build a custom data model, tasks that typically consume significant internal IT resources. Customers such as Plexus, IBM, Canon, Thomson, Steelcase and Caterpillar have demonstrated that webPUBLISH is an easy to use, easy to install, easy to support extensible solution. With webPUBLISH's RapidMart™, customers have been able to greatly reduce the development time, project risk and expense of building custom solutions. Each webPUBLISH RapidMart has pre-defined extraction jobs that automatically populate webPUBLISH with the data from i2, SAP or other legacy systems and can be implemented in days with documented customer paybacks that are usually within 90 days.
Using this approach, customers can immediately demonstrate the value of webPUBLISH to the key business sponsors in days. Instead of investing in a concept, customer business sponsors can immediately recognize the power of webPUBLISH by access reports and metrics from the standard webPUBLISH library. At the same time webPUBLISH can be an integrated component of a corporate data warehouse.
"The sights of global businesses are now set squarely on the need to achieve greater operational effectiveness, sooner, in an increasingly challenging business environment. In addition, organizations have already made choices for their BI tools." said Stephanie Joy, VP Marketing, Pelyco Systems, "Integrating tools like BRIO, Business Objects, Crystal Decisions and Cognos saves the customer both time and money. Most customers have already purchased one of these BI tools and so there is no need to buy additional reporting tools. Furthermore, they already have expertise in-house so the learning curve to create new reports and metrics with webPUBLISH is minimal."
